Five days, and never saw a single badger,,,,,

Just back from a 5 night stopover here. The site is very convenient for local access to the city, with quite a few eating and drinking options and a superb ice cream parlour. It took us 30 min to walk to the cathedral, but the Celtic Coaster no.403 mini bus was a better option, stops right outside the entrance and worth the £1.50 (or £3 for all day hop on hop off). The walk down to Whitesands Beach was a bit too traffic heavy. The car park there is way overpriced as are the loos. The Coast Path is in nearby reach, this can take you to the Blue Lagoon and Porthgain , both well worth exploring – these also doable by bus if you do a bit of planning. The site is all grass, we didn’t notice any mowing going off – it was the heatwave after all, and the facilities block closes at 1000 for cleaning which as repeated endlessly is a bit early. Not certain if the disabled unisex one is available as an alternative. Lots of signs amplifying the ‘No Ball Games’ rule. Good. Pity some campers seemed unable to read these. This site is right next door to a commercial one (Lleithyr Farm) and there is some noise at times from here. They don’t seem to do ‘No Ball Games’ btw. However, that site has a really good shop, which the CAMC one hasn’t. Another thing we noticed is that the the recycling and general waste bins were the large industrial ‘Biffa’ type, not dustbins, also you had to trek to near the entrance to dispose of glass items separately. This is a bit like some CCC sites, is the CAMC adopting the same policy one wonders. Oh - didn’t see any Badgers!

Badger entering awnings at this site

We are very surprised other reviews don't mention the badger problem on this site. Other members we spoke to on site during our recent stay had all had a badger enter their awnings in the nights. The wardens did not warn us on arrival about wild animals known to roam there at nights. Our neighbours either side on site were warned, so why weren't we? Our young son left 1 small sealed cereal box inside a zipped, closed picnic rucksack which was totally damaged by the badger, along with other items damaged by it too. Above all, having badgers entering your awning is a significant hygiene and safety problem. We rated it low on family friendly due to the reminders in several places of no ball games or Frisbee games. No other CC site we've stayed at have ever been that strict. Maybe the no ball warning is related to balls touching the rabbit or badger faeces on the site? We won't be returning to this site. St David's is a beautiful area but the experience and damaged caused by the badgers totally ruined our holiday here.

Excellent heatwave week0

Arrived on sat 16th July just after 1pm with couple vans in front, as not much waiting room and block others coming in or out of site the Warden was out asking if been on the site before, if yes was allowing you to drive round find pitch then come back and tell them. Good idea to clear entrance. Keeping new people to site I guess so to explain the parking rules which i still noticed a few who had parked wrong side of the peg.. so after reading the new magazine when I got home the article about trying g out 2 pegs to park between sounds lime a good idea for those who don't know their left from rights..also noticed the wardens a bit relaxed on the tent side of things as was a tent pitched by a van which was not a drive away awning at all on arrival and day before I left another van had a tent pitched on car parking side of van.. Besides those couple of issues we had a fantastic week once again on this site..

Excellent Site

We are motorhomers and have stayed here for 4 nights and have had a super time. All pitches are grass, they are spacious and the site is very well kept. It’s a shame people feel the need to find the shortest route from their pitch to wherever they are going whether it be to the toilet block or driving their vehicles off their pitch. They almost walk in the door as they go past or when driving think they do not need to go the route on or off the grass but drive through the parked vans. It’s a great area, stunning walks along the coast path and around, also possible to walk into St David’s. Well Done wardens.

Super site with outstanding wardens

We have just aŕived home after six days at this super site. No need for a long review as everything is positive. Having said that worth a special mention are the wardens who kept the site spotless whilst still finding time to chat. Oh for the good old days!

Lovely peaceful site

This site is ideal for walking or cycling and Whitesands beach is only a short walk away or take the local minibus right down to the beach. There is no shop on site but the neighbouring site has a shop that sells a good range of goods, pubs or restaurants are a drive or bus ride away and there is nothing within walking distance. The site is kept very clean by the friendly staff and the heated shower and toilet block is up to the usual standard I expect from a Club site. Boat trips to Ramsey Island can be taken from St. Justinians which can be reached by the minibus that stops at the site entrance, a £3 all day hop on hop off ticket can be purchased enabling you to visit St. David’s or a number of beaches.

5 Star location abused by members who either don’t clean up after themselves or abide by notices to the public.

First time visit and went for the Jubilee weekend. St David’s is a 25 minute walk away or a bus ride which appears every 30 minutes …. Did both during stay. Also walked a 9km route around the local scenic area taking in fields, hills, coastlines and beaches….stunning. Site is all grass and spacious pitches provide the peace and quiet adequately, that is unless near by C&MC members have sent their kids over to play ball in front of you. The “No Ball Games” signs were everywhere by the way! Toilet blocks were sparkling post the daily cleaning work done on them however it is surprising how many of the C&MC members these days feel it unnecessary to leave facilities how they find them ie clean up after themselves. It was noticed by me in the Gents but from what my wife tells me, it would appear that the Ladies were worse……sadly this also appears to be the case in other C&MC sites too…..unfortunately. Please clean up after yourselves and your kids and take note of the signs left around at specific sites rather than ignoring them! Great site, would definitely go again but hope I don’t book the same time as the grotty members that booked over this Jubilee weekend……you know who you are!

Lovely site

We stayed for a week and enjoyed the area, there is so much to see and do. The blue lagoon, coastal paths walks, seals everywhere and Ramsey island boat trips, Porthgain, Whitesands beach for the surf and cafe. St.Davids being the smallest city in the UK is quaint and super friendly. The minibus picks you up from outside the site and for £3 each, you can hop off/on until it finishes. Facilities are spotlessly clean and the block closes from 10.15 to 11.15 so not to inconvenient for us and there is a toilet open round the side when staff are cleaning. As previously stated in previous reviews all camc sites that do not have a dedicated play field are not allowed to play ball games and I am pleased this was enforced, members trying to play cricket, rugby and footballs surrounded by extremely expensive outfits is an accident waiting to happen..

Gorgeous setting - not suitable for all.....

This is a spotless site in a truly gorgeous setting. The views are spectacular and it is a lovely peaceful site. As previously mentioned, there is no shop on sire, which isn't an issue as there is one on the neighbouring site with the bare essentials. Supermarkets are few and far between however in this part of Wales so either go prepared or be ready to travel to get to a supermarket! There is one in St David's but parking is limited or you need to pay. The walk into St David's itself is lovely, but takes about 40 mins and has some steep hills and is on narrow roads - so not for those with poor mobility. Football (and all ball games) are banned on this site. We've never come across this before on a Club Site so our children were very disappointed - worth noting if you have older kids who might not want to spend their time on the swings. The nearby Whitesands beach was lovely, our highlight was the Blue Lagoon and bay at Abereiddi - absolutely stunning. Take your body boards and paddle boards - the sea is crystal clear, if a little bracing! We would also highly recommend the fish and chips from the Shed Bistro in Porthgain while watching the sun set. Take care on the narrow roads on the approach to the site. The toilet/shower block closing at 10 was not an issue for us - they do keep a toilet open for the duration is you are caught short!
